After a series of exchanges, APIZALS President, Darío Luis Banegas, and Pamela Saavedra, professor at Universidad Católica de Temuco, signed a memorandum of understanding with the aim of establishing professional links between the two institutions.

Through this cooperation process, it is hoped that together we can:

- Develop research projects around teacher education.

- Organise seminars and conferences.

- Exchange publications.

- Organise a visiting educator scheme so that members of APIZALS deliver seminars at Universidad de Temuco and viceversa.

This is the first time that APIZALS becomes engaged with our friends from Chile and we look forward to materialising this agreement.
